Cantaloupe Music is a record label founded in March 2001 by the three founders of New York's Bang on a Can Festival: Michael Gordon, David Lang, and Julia Wolfe, and Bang on a Can executive director Kenny Savelson. Cantaloupe Music has made a massive impact in the new music community, and been recognized by critics and fans around the globe for its adventurous sounds. Its goal is to provide a home for "music that slips between the cracks." The label has repeatedly received "Top 10 of the Year" accolades from publications such as The New York Times, The Guardian (UK), The Wire, the New Yorker, Newsday, the Washington Post, the Boston Globe, Mojo, the San Jose Mercury News, Gramophone, Billboard, Stereophile, and Time Out NY. Its releases have also been featured on CNN, PitchforkMedia, NPR, PaperThinWalls, BBC, and other major TV/radio/online outlets.
Cantaloupe Music is distributed by Naxos of America and music can also be purchased on the Bang on a Can Store website.
Through Cantaloupe Music, Bang on a Can continues its mission to spread the gospel of risk-taking new music. Bang on a Can—dedicated to the work of composers across the entire aesthetic spectrum—has created a home for musical inventors, misfits and pioneers. Founded in 1987 by Gordon, Lang, Wolfe the non-profit has grown from a one-day festival to a multi-faceted organization. Their decision to launch Cantaloupe Music represented the culmination of 15 years of ground-breaking concerts and a decade of successful recording projects on multiple major record labels.
